Tiruvannamalai, DATE

The Smile Welfare Foundation has undertaken a significant renovation project for the overhead
drinking water tank at Mamandur Government Higher Secondary School in the Tiruvannamalai
district. With a budget of 2.9 lakh rupees, this initiative aims to provide 920 students with
improved access to safe drinking water and promote better sanitation and hygienic practices.

The renovation project, designed to ensure a continuous supply of clean drinking water, will
directly benefit 440 girls and 520 boys from grades 6 to 12. By upgrading the water tank,
installing new pipelines and taps, and maintaining sanitation facilities, the project seeks to reduce
the risk of waterborne diseases and promote a healthier school environment.

Enhanced Access to Safe Water: Continuous supply of clean drinking water, reducing
waterborne disease risks.

Promotion of Hygienic Practices: Educational programs to teach students about
hygiene, preventing illnesses, and improving overall health.

The direct beneficiaries of this initiative are the 920 students who will gain improved access to

facilities is essential for maintaining hygiene, especially during menstruation.
